Chapter 165: An information gap(1/2)
Zhang Yang looked at the man in front of him, who was only about thirty years old, with his hands folded, "I must be the Yi Nan Khan in person."
Yi Nan put his hand on his chest to salute, and then handed over an imperial edict.
The imperial edict was given to him by Li Shimin. Zhang Yang took it and even confirmed it, "Khan Yinan, you can tell us anything if you have anything, and our Rites Department will arrange everything."
Yinan Khan looked flustered and said in Guanzhong dialect, "Our cattle, sheep and horses were all stolen overnight."
Zhang Yang glanced at Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong yawned, he was very sleepy and his eyelids were fighting.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Please ask Yinan Khan to explain the situation to us carefully."
Hearing these words made Xu Jingzong want to laugh, but he could only hold back his laughter. Mr. Zhang is such a good actor!
"My herds of cattle, sheep and horses!" Yinan Khan stamped his feet anxiously, "Xue Yantuo can no longer take out these cattle and sheep."
He was so anxious that he wanted to cry.
Zhang Yang's expression was calm, "With so many cattle, sheep and horses, they must not be far away. We will send people to find them. Please don't worry, Khan."
"That's great." Yi Nan Khan let go a lot now.
"Is Khan feeling ups and downs in mood, and still very uneasy?"
"Yes, yes." Yinan Khan nodded vigorously.
"How about we go to the posthouse to discuss the matter first?"
"When can I meet Tian Khan."
Zhang Yang raised his head and looked at the sky, "Tian Khan is very busy now. I don't have a chance to meet him today. Let's try another day."
"When is the next day?"
"Maybe tomorrow." Zhang Yang whispered to him: "Anyway, you have already arrived in Chang'an City. Everything can be discussed in the long term. Xue Yantuo helped the Tang Dynasty quell the Turkic civil strife. Your Majesty is thinking about how to reward the Khan and can't wait to see him.
Khan."
"Your Majesty, are you really impatient?" Yinan Khan finally smiled.
Zhang Yang looked into the distance, "Where are the other men of Yinan Khan?"
Yinan Khan replied: "They are all looking for cattle and sheep."
"Really?" Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong nodded understandingly, and those Xue Yantuo people left by Yinan Khan in Luoshui River would disappear from the world.
"Those bandits disguised themselves as officers and soldiers and deceived us!"
"Your Majesty will send someone to look for it when he finds out about this, and he will understand. It's all our fault for the poor public security in Guanzhong. Now that we've arrived in Chang'an, Khan Yinan, don't worry too much. Please go into the city."
What he said was so flawless that Xu Jingzong admired Zhang Yang even more in his heart.
Leading people into Chang'an City, once Yi Nan Khan entered Chang'an City, it would be difficult for him to leave.
He led people all the way into the post house.
After discussing the price with the guys here, Yinan Khan said with some embarrassment, "Our gold and silver have been stolen, along with our horses, cattle and sheep."
Zhang Yang glanced at Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong calmly took out a piece of silver cake and handed it to the guy here, "Clean up a house for Yi Nan Khan."
The waiter collected the silver cake and went to work.
Yinan Khan saluted again and again.
Zhang Yang said to him, "We will arrange for people to look for the cattle, sheep and horses right now. They will definitely not be far away. We will inform the Khan if there is any news."
"Please ask Yinan Khan to stay in the post house today. Don't leave here, don't move around at will, stay in the room and rest. Tian Khan may come to summon you at any time, otherwise we will be in trouble if we can't find anyone.
.”
Yinan Khan was so moved by the two ministers of the Tang Dynasty in front of him that he didn't know what to say. They could actually help the cattle, sheep and horses.
"Have a rest." Xu Jingzong followed and left.
After leaving the post house, Xu Jingzong said doubtfully: "Is Mr. Zhang really going to look for him?"
Zhang Yang walked with his hands folded, "Of course not. Whether it can be found or not is another matter. It was originally Brother Xu who led someone to steal it."
"That was also Shilang Zhang's idea."
"Are you going to find the things you took by yourself? Of course it's impossible. You've been busy all day and all night. Go to bed early."
Xu Jingzong was indeed so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He hadn't closed his eyes since last night.
Walking on Zhuque Street, Zhang Yang bumped into Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo and Li Tai walked together.
Li Tai said: "Chu Mo said that another cow broke its foot in their field. Let's go eat beef together."
"Is there beef to eat?"
"It just so happened that I broke my leg today."
The three of them walked out of Chang'an City together and got into a carriage.
Arriving at the village near Bashang, members of the Cheng family were killing a cow, which was currently hanging on a tree.
Cheng Chumo personally divided the beef.
Zhang Yang chose several pieces of beef tendon, and Li Tai ordered some beef tenderloin.
You can take this beef home and feed it to your wife.
Then distribute some meat to the villagers and tribe.
After one cow was distributed to the whole village, there wasn't much left.
Looking at the remaining beef, Li Tai took out some pepper, salt, garlic and onions, and the little fat man even brought soy sauce.
Isn't this soy sauce from the store?
How many things did he take from the store?
"You still have to cook the remaining beef. I think as long as you don't cook the delicacies, it would be a waste of money to let others cook it."
Zhang Yang took the knife from Cheng Chumo, first blanch the beef ribs, stir-fry, add pepper, pour in wine and soy sauce, and bring to a boil over high heat to reduce the juice.
Then pick out some beef offal and fry a pot of beef offal.
The remaining bones and beef were stewed in soup. Zhang Yang stirred the soup and said, "You can take this broth home and eat it. It is also good to use this soup with naan bread."
A pot of beef ribs, a fried beef offal, and a bowl of beef soup.
Cheng Chumo took a bite of the cake and a bite of the meat and it was delicious.
Zhang Yang looked to the other side of the village and had to say that the Cheng family's land was indeed very large. At a glance, the fields reached all the way to the edge of the Ba River.
Compared with this place, the fiefdom in Lishan looks a lot more petty.
Carrying these pieces of beef tendon, Zhang Yang returned home, where his wife was playing badminton with her two aunts.
Zhang Yang shook the bag of beef in his hand and said, "We have beef to eat tonight."
"Huh? Where did the beef come from?"
"The cow in Chu Mo's farm broke its leg, so some of the beef was divided."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yue looked at the beef and said: "I heard that the Cheng family's cattle often break their legs, but I don't know if it is true or not."
Braised beef with soybeans is also a very good delicacy. Beef tendon meat is basically lean meat, and the meat is very delicate. If it is not cooked well, it will easily become sticky.
Wash and soak the soybeans, and ask aunt to blanch the beef.
The couple returns to the court
This court is not much different from later badminton courts.
Li Yue serves first.
After several matches, Li Yue mastered badminton very quickly, and even learned the technique of suppressing high balls and low balls.
When the ball hit the ground, Li Yue picked it up in despair, "In the end, I still lost to my husband."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "You still have a lot of room for improvement."
It was time to tee off again. Badminton could be played from noon to evening. Li Yue wiped his sweat.
"Do you feel refreshed after running like this?"
"Well, what my husband said is true." After speaking, Li Yue drank water and nodded.
I looked at my husband again. After playing badminton, I didn’t even have time to pour water into my mouth. My husband was still so patiently making tea and drinking it.
Li Yue thought of another possibility: her husband was not tired at all and he still had some energy left.
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Running more often is good for the body. There is no need to make yourself tired. Although the symptoms of anemia have been relieved, don't run too much. If you feel tired, be sure to do so.
Take proper rest.”
Li Yue relaxed her knees and nodded.
